How it all started
SOAP₂O was born when our founder Jordan noticed a huge gap in the market. Jordan distributed disinfecting equipment during the 2020 pandemic. Some of his most popular products were automatic dispensers, so he was constantly looking for ways to improve them. Testing dispensers was part of his daily tasks, and it was when there was a mix-up between the dispensers he was testing that he had his AHA moment. He was expecting two automatic dispensers, but his order contained gel dispensers that he thought would not be good for him or his business. Given his requirements and need for the equipment, however, Jordan tried to reverse the circumstances. He added water and hand wash to the gel dispenser to see if it would foam... it did!
Jordan realized that we use concentrated liquid or powders for everything except hand soap - a gap in the market was identified and the SOAP₂O concept was born. The next hurdle, was how to launch a product that had not yet been created and marketed.
After finding the right people and resources, research was conducted with three chemical companies and a partnership was formed in May 2021. SOAP₂O came to market in September 2021 when the soap was launched and was an immediate success. In just 4 months, 250,000 1L bags were sold, saving over 50 tons of plastic that would have entered the ecosystem.
In 2022, we will be even bigger and better.
